Is critical for frieza:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/avila-private/+bug/1547482

Main issue is that if app in sidestage requests content-hub operation, the new 
app usually is launched is main stage. This is problematic for 2 reasons:
1) you see ugly "Transfer in progress" dialog in source app in sidestage
2) the destination app running in main stage is partially obscured by the side 
stage and selection/picking operations can be obscured by the side stage.


We have a couple options here I could think of, depending on timing and what is 
planned for the shell and side-stage
@saviq please comment
1) if app running in sidestage and requests app launch/picking via content-hub, 
always launch the choosen app in side stage as well. 
Pros: "transfer in progress" dialog hidden, nothing obscured in destination app 
Cons: destination app not using available space
2) when main stage app is launched it should be side by side with side stage, 
not behind it
3) if content-hub operation requested from side stage, hide the side stage 
after launching the destination app and show it after content-hub transfer 
complete. This would most likely require an api that content-hub could call 
which I don't believe exists today

Ultimately, content-hub operations will be done with a trust-prompt
which would help/change this problem somewhat, but that is not happening
in the near term.
